Relationships are complex & it may be time to explore how you’ve been impacted by past unhealthy relationships. You may feel as if you’re not enough, a bother or annoyance to your family or others. Often seeking acceptance from the others even though you know it may not happen. The struggle one has towards being accepted by family/others in order to feel as if you are good enough can often feel unbearable or never ending. Survivors of past damaged relations can make one feel as if you have no worth or value & leave you struggling to identify your worth & seek approval from others. You are not alone in these thoughts & feelings.
My specialties include working with adults and adolescents; trauma (emotional, physical, sexual, neglect), PTSD, C-PTSD, narcissistic relationships, domestic violence/teen dating violence. I work closely with individuals who have experienced a past trauma related to emotional abuse and relationships.
It’s essential for my client to know they can build a therapeutic relationship in an environment that is judgment free, empathetic, accepting, & validating their own thoughts & feelings. I meet each of my clients where they are in their life path & focus on their personal growth & healing. You are the expert in your own life, I'm just here in your journey.
